Doesn't anyone else read Spider-Girl??

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

A Spider-Girl update!

Alright folks, by now you guys should know that i'm a HUGE Spider-Girl fan, and the fact that i hear some people here really like the title, i look for post's to read about her, and there are none! So i decided to be the official Spider-Girl thread master! Because quite frankly, her title is just as good good, if not better, than her Dad's! So i'll do my best to keep those who like Spider-Girl informed, and hopefully, i'll get a little support and feedback from you guys out there. I'd appreciate anything anyone can give to this thread, and i'm not bias to anyone's opinions either. Although i look for postive feedback, i know to also expect some negative as well.

Ok guys, here it is! Come and get it!! And thanks for your support!

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Oh yeah....


.....by the way, i'll be getting the latest issue today,
Spider-Girl #52. It's featuring Dark Devil, and the newly-revamped
Scarlet-Spider! So i'll get that to y'all a little later! Thanks again!

[Nicholas]

I'm starting to read Spider-Girl and I'm enjoying it. I went back to the beginning and I've worked my way up to issue#20. I can't discuss the current issues yet - maybe soon. I can discuss the whole concept though, if you like. Post again and let me know.

Oh, and take a look at my "starting a new ASM thread" post and let me know what you think.

[BoyBri]

I've been with Spider-Girl since the start and have to agree that it's always been consistently good. It was great to have it around when Howard Mackie was messing up the core Spider-titles, kind of an oasis in a spider-desert! I wasn't around in the 60s when Spidey was first published, but I can imagine that Spider-Girl is pretty close to how it was then, with a strong lead character surrounded by a great supporting cast. I collected the 13-issue Green Goblin series when Phil took over the glider and I'm glad to see him being used so well, along with old enemies such as Angel Face. I really got behind the title on the two occasions it was threatened with cancellation and do feel genuinely grateful every time I pick up a new issue. We've made 50 and I'm looking forward to 100 - You go, MayDay!!!

[Arcturus]

I like Spider-Girl, it's a good read.

[Zenien]

I've got almost every issue (missing about 6 or 7 in total). It's had it's moments where I've really enjoyed it, as a whole though I can understand why so many fans don't read it.

I mean you get characters changing personalities every issue. Like when Phil Became the new Green Goblin suddenly Normie and Phil were WAYYYYYYYYYYY too happy (calling eachother man, and dude and smilling like psycos). Characters should suprise us, but it seems like everycharacter getsa lobotomy every so often.

The whole clone saga was great! But I'm really not looking forward to trudging through another 10 or so issues of May asking herself "Should I be Spider-Girl?". I would have thought she'd have outgrown that by now! It really hurts the book when Spider-Girl plotlines go to the over-used cliches that made people turn away from the spider-man books.

Spider-Girl is a nice read, but I'm thinking a new writting/artist team is in order. I have nothing against showing off a bit of Silver-Age style in the book, but Spider-Girl needs something more than what Defalco and co seem to be able to give it.

I loved the Issue 51, because it was a change of pace. That and it really made me connect with the characters immotionally (something that is getting really hard under the current writter). It seems like every Spider-Girl issue is a continuation of a continueation, and I wears you down after a bit. I'm hoping that the book moves towards a slighty more "story arch" approach.

It's almost like Spider-Girl is living in a dreamworld sometimes. It's too "happy". Seems every character is nothing but a saint on the inside, and the villains are just there to be mean. I can't really pinpoint a tone for this book because it doesn't have one. It's fluff, you get the sense that no matter what happens, you KNOW everything is going to be happy at the end. After Crazy 8 dies, Canis lets the fake Spider-Man go instead of killing him. The villains don't seem real, because a real crime lord would do the type of thing we see the Ultimate Kingpin doing. Spider-Girl using the Glider when she had no powers. Felicity being a super hero at 14, she has no powers and even at peak human 14 there is no way that she could be a super hero.

(I may get flamed for this) I also think the self narration is getting annoying. Keeping it brief is better, every time we see May(or anyone else lately), she gives us a tirade of her thoughts. Sometimes you can understand a character more if they tell you less.

The art is another sore point, everything seems so stiff. The super hero battles and very unoriginal lately, and it just doesn't make the impression on me like other super hero battles. The art doesn't give the characters a sense of fluence or movement, I like that issue where May was fighting a super scrull because it made her look agile, in movement and so on.

Spider-Girl is said to be a book for all ages, but it shouldn't insult a persons intelligence like it's done more than once before. I think it has so much potential, but it's being handled extremely poorly.

WildThing is another PRIME example of how the MC2characters were poorly concieved. I don't really need to point out why.

If marvel had put the time, money and thought into MC2 that they put into the Ultimate Universe....

With the planning, budget and money that was put into MC2, let's just say that we're lucky to even have Spider-Girl at this point.

I'm not trolling for flames here. Just stating my opinion. But I enjoy a good discussion, so if I'm wrong don't just say I am, prove I am.

And post away!

EDIT: YES I WAS OVERLY NEGATIVE! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT!

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Thanks Guys' ! :spidey:


I just got issue #51, and again- another GREAT issue! I really enjoyed how May struggle's to give herself credit for the good that she does, rather than dwell on the bad, just like Daddy! And i'm glad that Peter is sticking to his decision to re-retire, becuase it was TOO MANY Spiders' in this title, but i did enjoy seeing him redon the tights'- although we was unsuccessful in his attempt. And what the heck is up with Felicity!
She was really tripping about not hearing from May, or knowing if she was fully accepting her as her "partner". It was also good to see ol' DarkDevil as well, and i really like Kaine's character development, too.
The artwork was great, the way they had all the character's alter-ego's on the outer-panel was sweet! Again, this title is more reminiscent of the ol' Stan Lee/ John Romita Spider-stories, than Ultimate. So now we just have to wait and see who's May's next villian, and i hope it's not a recylced rehashed Spider-Man villian like Elektra! Oh yeah, i wonder what is gonna happen to Raptor when they brought her in that room with that one cat. I hope they don't make her turn bad again! We'll have to wait and see! And thanks guys' for your feedback, i appreciate it!

-:venom:BSM

[CantThinkOfAName]

I read it. The last issue, #51, was really good. Awesome art, and a good story:)

[jimmy169]

I read it. Had it since issue 0, only missed one issue. Wanted to quite but came back when I heard they will reveal the true version of what happened before the reboot (this is how i think of it anyway). Now i'm hooked again but...i don't know...something is missed, maybe they need to take a break and bring in a new guy like someone said but that new guy better follow continuity or the main reason i have this book will be lost.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Thanks again guys' for all your responses, it is appreciated. I hear what a lot of you guys' are feeling with the characters, writing plots, storylines, etc.., but i have to disagree with the comment made about the art being stiff. I must say that like Pat's work on Spider-Girl, its' not flashy, or Kubert-esqe, but it has been consistent, AND- it fits this title fine for me. Again, this is how I feel, and i don't have gripe with anyone's personal opinion. I also agree that the battle scenes could be lot more drawn out, not so rushed, or refurbished. The writing team is fine IMO, there were times when stories seemed to drag on, and that's to be expected
when writing so many characters' in a book. But that's another reason why this book is so damn good, the supporting characters,
they all bring something to the table, and they also breathe fresh life into the stories when May is having a hard time juggling all her responsibilites as daughter of a fomer superhero, student, friend, budding superhero, and girlfriend!

Now i will admit that some of the character interactions can be dry at times, and as i said before- that's to be expected with a book with so many characters'. The last 4 issues have been great, and exemplify what a real good comic book is about: good story, good artwork, good characters', and how to tie-up loose ends. Well that's all for now, but keep on postin' your thoughts' and feelings, and long live Spider-Girl!:spidey:

-:venom:BSM

[Zenien]

Actually, the art has been improving a LOT since the titles conception. I dunno, I just wish we could get Spider-Girl in motion more, seeing her watching someone upside down from a celling or so on. So maybe it's more the angle the panels are drawn in that annoys me. I'd like to see SG being Spider like, the angles of the artwork seem repeditive, which sorta hurts the quality of the art overall. But then again that's just me.

Looking at some of the most recent issues (under the regular artist), it seems that what I just mentioned is being addressed, Good For Them!

My gripe about the characters is that there are SO many of them.
I like a rich supporting cast, but I just wish the book would focus on a select few at a time. You can't really "get" the supporting characters as well, cus they're all crammed into 1 issue every time. They have little time to actually progress and when they do it seems forced to me because they have to do it in like 5 panels each issue. 1 issue dealling with mainly Felicia/Felicity/Felicias lover(can't remember her name), would tell me a lot more about each respective character than having to jump around in one issue all the time. The characters opinions have to be stated FIRMLY because they have little time to do it. It just seems unrealistic to me.

Is Issue 54 out yet? Cus I only have upto issue 51 (I'm going to get a subscription, I don't know when my local comic store gets new issues in, and I'm broke currently)

The book seems to be going on an upward trend lately, most of the problems that plagued the book are being dealt with. It's still not living up to it's potential though (SOMETHING is missing, I think the book needs a new tone/pace/SOMETHING).

Contrary to what these posts may indicate I LIKE THE BOOK. I hope it doesn't get cancelled...:(

[Travelling Wave]

Spider-Gril is a great title and really the book that kept me reading during the Mackie-era, when everything was upside down.

Now I think the book needs a new direction and maybe a new creative team, Defalco and Oliffe are great for the book but I don't think it's wise to stay on the same title for too long.

[Zenien]

I agree, being on one book for too long can tap out all your creative juices. I sort of think Defalco and co are having a hard time deciding what they want the over all direction to be of the book. Maybe they should let some new blood handle it or have some new people join the writter, opinions are a good thing to have and sometimes you only need someone who isn't you. When you stay so close to the product, you can lose touch with what it's really like to be a fan reading it.

but I haven't seen anything since issue 51 so maybe I'll be pleasantly suprised:D

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Again, everything that you guys' are saying i'm in agreement with, BUT to a degree. Spider-Girl has the best supporting cast in comics, (that i read- so that is a biased comment!), but i think De Falco is doing a great job with this title. I think he knows that these characters are great, and really wants to establish them all, so in case May is going through drama, they fill in the blanks. Are there too many characters in this title? Maybe. I love 'em all myself, i'd like to see more Moose, and Dark Devil, and the have rationed Normie's time in the book as of late. Put it like this- if the book was more than 32 pages, it'd be enough room for them all to co-exsist!

Now to the issue of May's crimefighting, and i think this where they really need to step it up a bit.... i mean, she has more knowledge of her Spider-Sense than Peter, and the new ability to cling and discharge items with her hands! And i've kinda been diappointed that she hasn't been using all these aces up her sleeve, she should be kickin' major a-double-s! The Faces'?
Please! And i hope that De Falco doesn't let her get too down on herself, cause it can get a little too redundant, but it stays true to the Spider legacy. I want to see her flourish more as a crimefighter, and utilize her powers more.....other than that- LONG LIVE SPIDER-GIRL!!

My biggest problem with this title (and I'm only up to issue 20) is not Mayday but Peter. He seems like such an unpleasant, stick-in-the-mud middle-aged conservative that I don't even recognize him. And even MJ seems way too calm and accepting for her character. Its hard for me to relate to the two of them. I'd hate to think that Peter would go though all that he's experienced and suffered only to turn into someone I don't even like.

This exactly is my biggest problem too, he really doesn't feel like
'our' Peter at all. Still it's a pretty good title although I never
been a big DeFalco fan, if they'd only get Peter's characterization
to work I'd be much happier.

I was trying to reply to the comment about the MC2 Peter Parker, but it didn't post! So i guess i'll take it from the top again,
just put yourself in Peter's shoes, you were the Amazing Spider-Man, since you got your powers' you've been misunderstood, and all you've ever tried to do was the right thing. Due to your duel lifestyle, your life can never havea normal life, you never had much money, you're a young husband AND father, plus you've got major enemies that want you dead, the Green Goblin for one, AND
let's not forget you've been cloned...? With me so far? In the fight of your life, you nearly escape death, BUT you lost a leg instead, and you're forced now to lead a normal life raising your baby girl, and make up for lost time with wifey-poo, (all things considered). I don't think i don't have go any further do i? I think Peter is doing just fine considering all the aboved mentioned, and that ain't the half of it either! So you can't blame him for being so conservative, and wanting to be a little protective of his family. Well that's just i feel, what do y'all think? Are these points valid?
Holla Back.........

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

One more thing.....

.....i've really enjoyed Mary Jane's character, too. She's the rock in the Parker household, i mean come on- she had to put herself second after the last battle with the Goblin, to take care of Peter after losing his leg, and raise her daughter as NORMALLY as possible. So she gets my respect! :spidey:


-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

So, in the MC2 Universe Peter and MJ never separeted, right?

[lino88]

For me Spider girl reality is the actual present, everything I read since the begging of clone saga that is an alternate timeline.

I always thought that marvel characters should get older just like Love and Rockets and Strangers in Paradise comics and have a closure like mangas.

Well that way (at least for me) all that 1960´s,70´s and 80´s stories are the past of spider girl father.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Well this is picking up the pieces BEFORE the re-launch of the now current Spider-Man issues. The events that followed after the "Gathering of Five" story arc, so i guess the answer is no, because MJ and Peter never separated in the regular continuity- to my knowledge. Can someone check that out to makes sure? Thanks.

-:venom:BSM

[Nicholas]

Now you've REALLY got me confused as to what constitutes the "regular continuity." Is that what's going on in ASM? And aren't Peter and MJ separated?

[Travelling Wave]

They are, they are. But Spider-Girl picked up before the re-boot, after the clone saga ended.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Didn't mean to confuse you bro, but if go back to Amazing Spider-Man 400-sumthin' during the Gathering of Five arc, Spider-Girl fast forwards like 15 years into the future. They, (Peter & MJ), find baby May, Peter lost his leg, and the rest is history.

The only thing i dont like is that make mayday look older. I remeber one issue were peter said "put down my 15 yr old daughter". She's 15 but looks alot more like a 23 yr old. Besides that its a great read oh wait no that self narration is getting a tad-bit annoying and the use of "girl", but thats it.

Hey wahts the skinny on DARKDEVIL? i dont know his origin can someone clue me in.

You think May looks too old? The haircut was a big improvement, but i think she looks fine. More mature, but not old- well to me that is! And for ol' DarkDevil, he's the son of Ben Reilly. He inherited his fathers' spider powers', BUT unfortunately also his degeneration diease. Kaine came to help by placing him in a resucutation chamber to heal him of the diease, where he remained for months, and as for Kaine, he was still muscle-for-hire by the Kingpin when DareDevil bursted in with evidence to take the Kingpin down, but was killed by saving Kaine's life. Kaine, wanting to pay DD back, tried to revive him to no avail, and went as far to using mystic arts to bring DD back to life. Then he called on Zarathos, the spirit of vengence,(who cured Kaine of his degeneration diease), to reanimate DD, but saw DarkDevil-(whose real name is Reilly Tyne), and entered into his body to possess him. Then the spirit of DareDevil came to root out Zarathos from the boy, and was successful. But Zarathos made young Reilly go from a 13 years old to an adult in his early 20's, and left his markings on him- pastry colored skin, fangs, horns, and pointed ears. He went on to blame Kaine for what happened to him, and tried to figure out a way to regain his human appearence. He went on to research the arts, and was able to morph into his human features. Having the spirit of Matt Murdock in him, he went to study law, where he interned for Foggy Nelson, and became a lawyer. So he took DD's orignal costume, and altered it to become DarkDevil. Darkdevil has the ability to teleport, and manifest flaming constructs'. I hope that gives you some info about DarkDevil, bro!

There are four years of high school in the States (Freshman, Sophmore, Junior, Senior). Sophmore is 2nd year.

[Zenien]

Well than the Canadian system rules over the American one. Ouch!

We go Junior High from grades 7-9
Highschool From Grades 10-12

In anycase according to the Canuck lingo (Sophomore), May would be in Grade 11, putting her in 16-17 age range.

I hope May starts getting back into her webs soon, I'm going to get severe stomach cramps copping with another 10 issue of no May saying "Should I be Spider-Girl?":( :mad: :eek:

Like my earlier posts suggested, I'm really hoping this book can pick up the slack creatively, because it's wandering aimlessly and it's turnning away people who just wanna jump on the book. Continuity is good, but no need to drown in it every issue. Issue 51 was continuety free and that equals good.

A book can only put in so many plotlines before some of them go :bomb: it's already happened in the book and I wish the book would get a more story arch approach. I'm repeating myself aren't I?:)

[Travelling Wave]

Hmmm. Then you Canadians have the very same system as us Swedes.

back to the subject; It might be wise to hire another writer for a couple of issues, just to get some new ideas and a bit of a new angle. Wouldn't it be killer to have Paul Jenkins do an arc with Spider-Girl? But I don't think Tom should go, mind you! He's still one of the greatest writers around. He cares about Spider-Girl and that shows.

OUCH! That was harsh, but beyond Kingpin/Kanis and the Faces (where interresting but not enough to be a center stage villain), there aren't really any intteresting villains.

Mays support group is way too big (IMO)...

Yeah, Tom D. shouldn't go, but the book needs a new angle and new ideas, otherwise it will eventually get cancelled (IMO).

Like I said above May has a support web that's WAY too big. How big has Spider-Man support web been? I mean we as a whole don't seem to like the idea of Spidey being able to have a shoulder to cry on, the same applies with May. I mean her Parents are fine, but when she has such an UNDERSTANDING group of people...I dunno...bleh....she needs to stand on her own and get over the whole "worthy of her dads webs thing". I thought she would have gotten over that after beating Kain. ANOTHER thing (endless loist of complaints:D ) is that all the battles don't seem to do that Characters justice. Taking down a heavy hitter like Kain should have been a full issue in itself. I mean it's KAIN (stronger than Ben or Pete). Instead it was like a few pages (admittedly cool pages it could have been so much more!).

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Again, thank all you guys' for your collective thoughts, comments, and all that! I appreciate it very much! Well, with all said in regards to the writting/plots and creative direction, and as i've reread all my Spider-Girl issues- i agree. It's now time to establish May as Spider-Girl, her IT enemies,(like her dad and the Goblin), and stop trying too hard to make this title like the old Spidey issues, (which i like, but now its' time that she's established her own idenity). I love what Tom's started with this book, and maybe its' time to let someone come and breathe new life into the book, UNTIL he can refresh himself from tying up all those loose ends associated with the Clone Saga. (And he did a great job in doing so!)

I think they're preparing to do something on that front, she's now reaffirmed her confidence in herself, Peter is now back in retirement, the loose ends are tied, and this is May's time to shine in HER book! So let's see what direction the next few issues go in, but i totally agree on lettin' Paul Jenkins write this book for a couple issues!! I'd like to see that happen! Lata True Believers.......

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

Unfortunately it probably won't happen. the man's way to busy. What other writers would you like to see on SG? Who wouldn't you want? I say Kevin Smith (good writer but not for SG).

[lino88]

Stan "the man" Lee would be funny!!!!

[Zenien]

hmmm good question....

Your right about Kevin Smith not being the right writter for Spider-Girl. I don't know about you guys, but I feel that the evil that men do isn't really grounding itself. Every issue seems to get more and more wacky. While Spidey is wacky, it's almost getting too much now. First issue was the best... 2nd was good, but Cat got wayyy too "wacky" for lack of a better word when they were fighting the scorpian girl. 3rd one seems all the way wacky, it needs to be just a LITTLE serious I mean felicias friend was killed...

Anyway enough about that, I can't honnestly say who should help with the creative direction. However I have a good feeling that the book will only go up from here!:D

Hopefully...

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Please don't bring Kevin Smith to anything else Spider-related! LOL!! I'm serious! The guy is talented, but he's not the kinda writer that's universal- in regards to writting for any character and doing them justice, or even creating groundbreaking stuff, (with exceptions to his Green Arrow #1). I wouldn't mind seeing Stan Lee doing a three issue story arc, being that he's so busy doing other projects, or even the ever popular Mr. Bendis! Or even the Millar boys. But you really don't think that Paul Jenkins couldn't make time to do a few story plots, or arcs'? I think anything is possible, if we raise or voices loud enough, it could!

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

Stan Lee would be a dream. Bendis would also work. But, and maybe that's just me, I'd really like to see Todd Dezago and Mike Wieringo do a couple of issues. That'd be great!

I agree. I thought Scott McKeever, who did Spider-Girl $51, wouldnt be so bad. I also liked the artist.

[Travelling Wave]

Funny thing; I think the artist of SG 51 is the same as the artist of the short lived Spider-Man Unlimited comic ( a spin-off from the fox animated tv-show). He reused the "caption-boxes" from the unlimited title.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

True, Scott did a good job with issue 51, and the artwork was clean. I'm patiently awaiting 53, and see what we're in for in the upcoming issues to follow. I do believe that our voices are heard, AND have been heard, so let's keep pushing for excellence with Spider-Girl! :spidey:

Yeah issue 51 rocked. I doubt he could handle the large cast of Spider-Girl in each issue though, so he'd have to focus on a few at a time. But I LOVED that issue! It made me connect with the characters again! Now an entire issue focusing on a sole character is unrealistic in the long run, but I think he could handle to human element extremely well! My ONLY beef about the art was that Spider-Girl didn't quit look right to me. BUT (before you all think I'm a black hole of negativity...) I loved how he drew everything besides that battle between spidey/Electro-girl. May looked great! She wasn't a bombshell, nor was she one of the marvel ctoken civilians, she was Mayday parker and that was REALLY cool. I loved the hair and such, she just seemed SO cool! (Yeah I'm a guy but This isn't hormones speaking people:D )

I guess I'm losing touch with the characters because it's like... Oh well just think about me earlier post of brain transplants. That and we whenever you get their inner thoughts, it's more of a summary of the thoughts dumbed down (for the regular writter), we don't get a really personalized thought thingy and that sorta makes you less likely to identify with the characters. Issue 51 was personalized up the yin yang! I got a real sense of the people in the book, not the Characters or the Super-Hero people.

Yeah that was an ADD moment for sure. Anyway I agree with that previous person about who would be a good choice for writting.

We're Almost at what now? 50 posts? Sweet! Not bad for a series that's almost been cancelled!

I seem to see a lot of Spider-Man # XX Reviews on the board, how about we start doing Some Spider-Girl # XX Reviews eh?

I found a pretty decent Spider-Girl Fan-Art Picture, Want me to post it?

I love how this thread is so positive (My earlier posts where fuelled by pent up grumbling about the series, this being the first chance I had vent them, thanks for not freaking out people).

That Being said here's a neato piece of Spider-Girl Art!
Enjoy!:D

...I can't post pictures...anyone that can tell me how to post them properly?

[Travelling Wave]

I've never posted art, so I can't help you. When is the next issue coming out anyway?

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

The next issue of Spider-Girl is in another week, i believe, and i'm sorry guys', i can't be of any help on getting pics' of Spider-Girl up on this thread....NO SCANNER! Plus- i don't know how to put pics' on these threads. But yeah, this has been a VERY postive thread, and i'm happy about that. Not that i don't mind constructive critism, i'm a realist, and i know that everybody is not gonna love this book like some of us. Alright gang, that's all for now! Lata........

Okay... I live in Sweden and I get my comics shipped from Stockholm (I live in Gothenburg) every month. That means that they wait until all the tiltles I've ordered arrives before shipping. Therefore I have yet to recieve Spider-Girl 52. Is it any good?

In regards to issue 52, yeah bro, it was VERY good! I won't spoil it for you, but if you MUST KNOW- then go to the first page of this thread, and you'll get the low down! If you can wait, then i applaud you! Holla Back!

I wasn't to excited about reading up on falicity having her day dreams. I guess it was ok though...but something feels missing. I don't know...more action or something, this is a superhero book.

I just hope the title survives long enough for us to see May graduate, start College, get a job and even, dare I say, get married.

Hey, whatever happened to May's gig over at the Daily Bugle?

Good question! It was cool to see old man Jameson
in the Spider-Girl cast briefly, but i was wondering the same thing. Maybe it was after she dropped the ball on that Iron Fist story, when Jameson had her on an assignment, and she didn't have clue on how to take any pictures! Anyways, i'm glad she hasn't beed associated with the Bugle anymore, it was pretty foul how Jameson praised Spider-Girl's heroics', (not knowing that her dad was the man he blasted in his paper for YEARS!), and always hated Spider-Man. Talk about a slap in the face!! And Felicity was trippin' out in issue 52, i wonder what angle they're goin' with that one, huh?! But as far as the missing element in that ish, i don't know, could it be that they're beatin' around the bush telling May the WHOLE truth about the 'Clone-thing"?? That Kaine is a clone of her Dad, that Ben Reilly was a clone of Peter as well, and just get it over with so this book can move forward?? LOL! I don't know, you guys be the judge! I'm ready to read some more fabulous Spider-Girl stories, and watch her become a SUPERSTAR in the Marvel Universe!

[Travelling Wave]

Oh Yeah!

Finally got my comics yesterday and that meant Spider-Girl 52, my very first read of the day (it's strange how you manage to read 8 comic books within an hour or less).

I thought it was a pretty good issue. What really struck me was the neat page designs. Seems like someone wants to prove he's the "ultimate-Spider-Girl (no pun intended)-artist" after all.

All in all a good read. Now bring on 53!

THERE I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!

I think this is look Spider-Girl will probably have in a couple of years (say like early 20's or late teens).

I have one of my friends working on a Spider-Girl FanArt Pic wich is actually turning out pretty cool. It's Like the cover Of Torment 1 of 4. The comic done by McFarlen with the lizard and that topless girl. It had Spidey suspended by a bunch of webing, anyway the Spider-Girl verson my friend is doing is basicly the same except she's poising just a little bit.

Oh yeah if you can't see the picture, right-click and hit "show Picture", that should help.

And If that doesn't work, here's a direct link...
http://www.geocities.com/the_gzone/misc/fanart3.html

I've found another FanArt Of Spider-Girl that I think is even better (depends on what you look for I guess), I'll post it after this one gets some comments...


Enjoy!

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Crap!!!!

I hate when i can't see the picture!!!:hulk: But i'm sure the pic is tight, but why can't i see it?!! (LOL!) Hopefully we'll be able to see the next one you post, so please, POST ON ! 63 posts guys', lets' keep it going!!

Hey Hopefully this will get your attention seeing as I JUST posted the Direct link in my previous post!

I'll delete this one after you reply cus it's just a notice to get your attention!

Wow!

That's so cool. Looks like an adult Spider-Girl. Awesome! Follow the link. Funny thing, sometimes I can see the picture on this page, sometimes I have to take the link 'cause it won't show. Still a great pick!

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Zen, dogg!! MAAAN! That pic is AWESOME, very Mcfarlane-esqe, and yes- she looks very mature. I also peeped that symbiote Spidey pic too! You know, i love the old symbiote-Spidey days, and that pic was too SWEET! To bad we can't get that Spider-Girl pic in our thread, if you can, please do so! Great pic! :spidey:

Gives you a little taste of how the series might turn out if it lives long enough.

[Zenien]

Yeah I thought it looked pretty neat!

Anyway you people want the other one?

I'm not sure wich one is better, each one is really good in their own way so I guess it comes down to your personal tastes.

Oh yeah! I'm going to be picking up issue 52 and 53 this weekend or next weekend. I know I'll get 53 for sure, so I'm thinking I might do an official review on with a rating system and everything.

Oh by the way FYO! I went to a comic review site and it had an official rumor (meaning official as in it's VERY likely).

IT CAN'T DIE OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Hey guys, never fear, the Sensational Blaque-Spiderman is here! Did i hear that this thread is dying?? Well now, i guess i'd better spray on a fresh coat of webbing for good measure! But before i do, i just want to give your art piece its' props' Zen. I'm an artist myself, so i respect everyone's creative influences! Now moving to some new stuff..... Do you guys' see May hooking up with Brad in future issues? And here's something else i pondered on as well,
when May was visiting Courtney Duran in the hospital, during her comma, did anyone else notice that she was talking about her latest adventures as Spider-Girl, prior to her awaking? I think they may reveal that she knows that May is Spider-Girl in later issues to come- maybe. As far as Felicity is concerned, i don't really she her staying on as a regular cast member of this comic. My reasons for saying that is, she's a problem child, and i'd really hate to see May have to babysit her a$$ half the comic. I hope they don't add her on as regular because i'm a bit tired of these "new" Spider-people invading this comic, and it's time to close the book on the Clone saga and concentrate on Spider-Girl.

Oh yeah, i do see Normie and May gettin' together! Watch! But why do i have the feeling that Normie might go loco again, and become the Goblin one more time? And i wonder what's in the future for Raptor? And why do i see her being killed or something? I do think that this cast might be getting reduced in issues to come, people might start to fade out, like maybe JJ, (a.k.a. the Buzz), and i never liked Phil Urich as the new Goblin. What now? 1 more week for Spider-Girl? Van Dame!!! But chew on that guys', and add your thoughts!

-:venom:BSM

[Zenien]

Hooking up with Brad...I hope not!

I dunno I've never really like the whole "Should I be with Brad or JJ?" thing May has had going on. I'd much rather see her with Normie.

Reason is that I think it's more interesting for the comic fan. Plus I mean they do already like eachother. Something about it though strikes me as funny. Like May said a few issues back after she almost kissed Normie.

"What was that about girl? Normie? Oh man dad would freak if you ever brought an Osbourne home!"

I just like the dynamic between the 2 of them. With Brad or JJ it's like "should I choose vinilla brand a or b?"

With Normie, you have years of rich backstory pertaining to the 2 of them. Call it weird but I sorta like the idea even more because they have a sizable age difference. Ok I'm not like that at all when it comes to relationships, I like to be the same age roughly right. But it's just another layer that can be played off of if Tom D ever does make them a couple.

Normie is 23 I think...
May is what now, 17?

I'll look up my back issues of Spider-Girl because I know they do give you the direct age difference somewhere...

Besides they just seem a lot more compatible to eachother than say anyone else in the book. It would be great if they did get together, I'd love to see everyones reactions!

Well unless everyone is all undertsanding. "Oh, well Normie is a nice boy..." type of take would ruin it.

I'd like to have Pete get his webbing in a naught over it! Normie is still in psycotherapy to. So it's so weird it would work a lot better than a stereotipical relationship between May and JJ/Brad.

LOL! I know! It did strike me as that too! But you're right about Normie and May's chemistry, because i do see them going down that route after they clean up this mess they're about to put Raptor through. Again, i see Normie becoming the Goblin again pretty soon- why? Well he does care for Blackie,(Raptor), even though he's got a jones for May, and if she's going to be forced to go back to crime,(which i think that lawyer cat was about to try and do- make her a deal...), and if anything happens to her, he'll be pissed. Don't you think so? Plus, which Osborne stayed completely sane?! Also, what's in the future for Kaine? Kaine and Allison hooking up maybe?? When they hook up, Kaine has a lotta anger to "work off"!! (LOL!) Time for more new villians,
more new INTERESTING villians! FunnyFace was a fake-a$$ Joker, and a terrible one at that! I hope they,(the Faces'), never show up again in this comic, UNLESS, they revamp him, and make him more "Goblin-esqe", real ruthless, heartless, Doc Ock-ish......ya feel me?? New Spider-Girl thread coming soon, when issue 53 hits!! Our thread is the thrid best in the comics thread, thanks guys, LONG LIVE SPIDER-GIRL!!!!

-:venom:BSM

[Zenien]

Heh, I have a question for those posting on this thread...

Now I know Kevin Smith has hinted at it in his Black Cat/Spider-Man: The Evil That Men Do...

But we all know that Felicia comming out happened in the issues of Spider-Girl, so my question is this.

What was your first reaction when it was shown that Felicia is Bi-sexual?

I was a little suprised, I thought it was too big of a change to just add suddenly. I mean they've done everything but said it and yet everyone seems to be taking it in stride. I'm not a bigeot or anything, but I thought they should have devoted some space for reaction thought bubbles by various characters. In stead of only dancing around the issue in the books because Tom D. is worried about parents and such not getting the books for their kids over it.

However call me crazy but Felicia being Bi almost makes her classier to me. For years we've been presented with a rather "loose" Black Cat. Loose in body and mind. I thought that Kevin Smith had really done Black Cat justice in The Evil That Men Do #1 by having her aknowledge what an airhead she was earlier on and it seemed like she had grown up. But as I've read more of the Evil That Men Do Felicia is just comming off as sluty to me. Well almost EVERY character seems too Smith Like.

Don't Get me wrong, Blunt Connection Rules! Dante and Randal are forever etched into my memory. Hell I even liked Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back! But like an earlier poster said, Smith needs a lot of work at being a universal writter. He can give something his "Smith" treatment without eroding what made those characters who they are. I just think things are too wacky in TETMD, I mean people have been murdured in it and all Spidey can do is think about how he has the hots for Felicia. I haven't picked up issue 3 yet but that's the general impression I have so far.

At least in the Spider-Girl books making her bi shows use that she isn't as shallow as some writters have unfairly made her to be.

Anyway that's my thought on it. SO what does everyone else think?

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

OH CRAP!! I never knew that Felicia Hardy was bi-sexual! I'm shocked! I never knew that she was.......:eek:!! Thanks for the education Zen, but damn......bi??? Let's see how they play angle in the future. Oh yeah, as you can see, i missed an issue of Spider-Girl. Can you please tell what issue that was? Thanks.

- :venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

What's the big deal?! So, she's bi? So what? No angle to play.

[Zenien]

LOL never knew she was Bi?

Well it was sort of hinted at overtime. There was an issue with MJ talking with Felicia and some black girl who’s name escapes me at the moment.

Clue #1 (I'll call the back girl Jessica)
Felecia and Jessica were holding hands in the intament way (fingers wrapped together, you know what I mean)
Clue #2
They get on the topic about kids. Felicia talks how she met Jessica through work. MJ directly asks "So how did you 2 meet each other?"
Clue#3
Jessica talks about how she thinks Felicity disaprovesof her.

Later On (another issue) MJ is talking with Felecia again, this time about Felicity
Clue # 1
Felecia takes about how she's pretty sure that Felicity disaprovesof her "life-style".

And finally the last bit of stuff that I can remember off the top of my head is this...
Felicia talks to Felicity about being a super-hero.
Clue#1
Jessica is present
Clue #2
As Felicity is storming off she shouts...
"Yeah well I don't think some of your choices have been so hot! Did you even ask me how I felt about dad?"
"then you just go and ditch my dad and go hook up with- never mind!"
Clue #3
Jessica consoles Felicia after the fight in that "I'm your significant other type way".

DAng that clue system was annoying! In any case...I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T GET IT!!!LOL
:D

I can't remember the exact issues, I’ll look them up...

BTW: By angle I think BSM is referring to how people are going to react and how the conflict is going to affect other people in the books.

All I was criticizing was how it was being handled in that nothing seemed to be registering to the rest of the cast.

It wasn't like Felecia is bi? She's with a girl? When did this happen? I never knew? She’s still the same person type thing.

It's being done like this...

She's bi?(they don't even say that) Oh that's nice...
(insert moral lesson about life choices here)

Not saying being understanding is bad, but no one has even really commented on it in the book, I though it would be more...newsworthy.

Ah well looks like I've stumbled upon an engaging topic for the thread.

Here's to hoping for a full 100 posts (or to the last page).

Ok, now i know what issue you're referring to! The issue where Kaine nearly rips off Peter's bionic leg, and May and Felicity came to the rescue.....ok, ok, ok. But the other incident with MJ and Felica's convo, i'm gonna have to research that myself. Well, it looks like our thread is continuing to find new life with each week! Let's keep it goin'!

Is our thread really dying guys'? Just a few more posts until 100! I know we can do it! Ok, heres one to just keep us a float until 53....with all that was said in this thread, do you guys see this comic becoming more successful, staying the same, or dying out with its' popularity? This comic has survived two cancellation calls, and has been the second to thrid best Spider comic,(Ultimate and Amazing- depending on the story for that month), on the shelf. It'd be a shame to let a good thing go to waste, i believe Tom and crew have some things up their sleeve, but i think NOW is the time to hit us with the good stuff. In the words of Too Short, "Get it while the gettin's good!" 7 days until issue 53!

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

It's not a big deal. I'm here for Spider-Girl!

[Zenien]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I'm Back!

Good to see you back!

I picked up Spider-Girl Issue 52 today. It's pretty cool!

I think Felicity is finally starting to be something other than the stereotypical annoying wannabe. That's cool cus I felt she was getting a flat treatment before. Her fantasy costume kicks butt! The whole sequence with felicity really paints a complex (and a little scary) painting of her inner mind.

Notice how after each scene of her fantasy (whereby it became more angered and even self serving) the shots of her became farther and farther away. You don't need to be a psycology student to figure her out.

May's new look? Well it was good and bad. I love it myself (dig the fish neting...). I think the left wrist band is a little weird. Peters pants are a nice touch, funny that she was wearing an avengers shirt (she always said she was more into the F5). Messy hair? Works but it should be a little more free flowing.

I like it, a step in the right direction but off on it's angle. The thing I like about Spider-Girl is that I can sit down and not have to see dozens of pop references or have to flip judge everyones fashion sense. Heck I don't mind doing that but the change seems a little sudden for dear May (of course remember those issues where she was dressed up like a french girl?). May was always nice as this girl who looked like she carred and was sweet. She looks all judgemental and a bit shallow to me now.

If they can just keep her cool new look but make sure her real personality shines through than it's just her size. when her body expression isn't making her look cynical she looks good.

But one thing, May sometimes would wear her costume underneath her regular cloths, guess that's out now eh?:D

The writting was good, but it also shows how the series is/was having trouble keeping focus, plotlines are being dropped and frankly it's for the best. Since we have so many plotlines, they can't develop as fully. But it looks like the series is starting to deal with those issues. Looking good!

Panel layout...Yoo boy...

Ok I like some of it, but a lot of it was sort of distracting. Spider-Girl can move beyond the 70-80's look without sacraficing the straight looking approach. I mean of course it can innovate all it wants, but this one seemed a little too much with characters hanging all over for little reason.

Almost every shot of Spider-Girl was miss-proportioned badly. Felicity looked older than may in costume (of course those proportions could just be a reflection of Felicities dream world).

All in all I enjoyed it a lot though, it showed that the Spider-Girl team trying new things with the book and that's cool.

Final say: Good issue, some minor art problems, strong text, new ideas.

Note: Felicity is getting a little disturbing...:eek:

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Zen, we're almost at the oasis of what most thought would be the improbable for a thread about Spider-Girl, 100 posts!! I'd again like to thank you guys' for all your time, thoughts, comments, and most importantly- your support. I sincerely thank you, and i'm sure Ms. Parker would like to say thanks as well! Now that's outta the way, as you said Zen, Tom De Falco and crew want to go in a certain direction, but there seems to always be something that stops them from giving us a straight Spider-Girl story. As i've already stated, if they aren't going to allow May to learn anymore about the truth about Kaine, Ben Reilly, and all that, then don't! Let's move on to other things, and stop dwelling on the past. Now as far Felicity is concerned, i'm not feeling her character, and i wouldn't mind seeing her go myself. I can see that they're writting more for her, but this ain't her book!
It should be all about May and, it's time that Tommy D let her shine.

I agree with you guys, Felecia is geting way too annoying. What I'd like to see now is something really big, like a space-invasion or something with Spider-Girl playing the key role. A big adventure where she really has to prove herself while the whole world is in jeopardy. What do you think?

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

You hit it right on the head TW, it's time for this comic to establish the star of the show, and that's May Parker! The other superhero cameos' by DarkDevil, the F5, or A-Next would be cool, but just not in an overbearing way. The cast of characters' of this book have been established, so there's no need to splash 'em on every other page anymore. Peter and MJ are keepers' of course, but its' time for Peter to be more influential in May's duel life, something that he never had, and should be WILLING to do for his own daughter. With Mary Jane expecting another child, a son, things should be very interestng enough with the Parkers' for sometime to come. I have faith that this book will rise above it all, and be everything that we've come to love about Spider-Girl!

THIS IS FOR 100 GUYS'!!!

Now that we're here, how about a brand new topic. I think the supporting cast should be cut down a little bit. That means someone dies. But who? What do you think?

I agree, but i don't wanna see anyone die. JJ could leave, or less Phil Urich, DEFINITELY Felicity!! Hey guys, issue 53 is out today!!!!!!!! We'll see what's goin' down in light of last issue. If any of you guys' read it first, please posts away, i'm in California, and i'm at work between

Crap, i'm sorry guys', still haven't made it to the comic shop yet, and i doubt i'll get the chance between the weekend too. I guess we'll have to let our Spider-Girl thread die-out for now, and start a new one when i, or either of you guys' get issue #53. Thanks again guys', and see ya next thread! Long live Spider-Girl !

-:venom:BSM

[Zenien]

Heh remember that something can only truely die when there is no one around to tell of it (or something like that).:confused:

Riggghhhttt...

Anyway at this rate, we'll reach the maximum space allowed for threads before we die out.

I'm going to try and pick up Spider-Girl #53 this weekend but I'm low on cash so I'll see how that plays out.

Characters that should go eh? I'm thinking Brad AND JJ. If only JJ wasn't the buzz, than I could stomach him but as it is Spider-Girl has enough plotlines to put inot 1 issue and doesn't need this borring one taking up space. Brad cus I just find him borring. Wasn't he going out with that Heather girl? Than Jimmy started going out with Heather...wouldn't brad have been mad?

Anyway I'm starting to like Felicity. Her character is actually fleshing out a bit (it looks like her days as the annoying side-kick are over with anyway). Like her or not, you have to admit she's created a very interesting plot thread (more than I can say of a few plotlines in the book...).

So Felicity should very much stay...
Brad could stay but as long as his character doesn't start to take up anything important...
JJ should go unless they can find SOMETHING to make him interresting...(think his association with the bugel would work...not that I want May being a phtographer, it could still work without her being employed by JJJ)
Heather is just filler to be used as a plot device...
The whole Newer Warriors thing should be scrapped, it hurts characters like DarkDevil...
Phil was very cool, but now he's just being used to explain things to the reader or to react to something...keep him around and give him something to do...
Jimmy was good potential but he's been smothered by a roster filled with dead weight...

In my opinion the book should focus on May,Parker Clan, Normie, Phil, Darkdevil, Felicity/Hardy Clan, usual school gang minus about 3 to lighten the over-bearring load this book has to support.

Things the book should do:
Explore relationship between Normie and May (Goblins and Spiders, love, friends, Normies insanity...which seems to have been totally ignored)
Hardy story is very interesting, continue...
Let May swing by herself a little more with a net...
Have Normie be her main confidant/Mechanic person/you get the idea
The whole DarkDevil/Kain/May/Alison storyline worked nicely but things seem to good to be true...shake it up a bit...
Other characters such as DarkDevil/Brad/JJ/ALL DEAD WEIGHT CHARACTERS could appear as needed but not have to be involved in every single issue.
Let the door to the clone saga be opened fully for May, instead of making a draft.

uh yeah that's about it for now, tiredness kicking in...

[Travelling Wave]

I agree with you! Absolutely. You should be the new writer :-)
Anyway, no ways is this thread dying.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Gotta to give the people what they want!

Die? Did i say die? I didn't mean it like that guys' ....but i am glad to see your support ! (I think i got outta that one ok....). And yes- i will be getting Spider-Girl this afternoon, so we'll have some new stuff to talk about!! I will continue to lead us to the promise land, i'm sorry if you all thought i was gonna bail out on our thread. NEVER!! I merely meant until there was new a subject to discuss. I'll see y'all in a few hours with issue 53!

-:venom:BSM

[Zenien]

Ah you flatter me:D

I haven't picked up issue #53 yet...But I have till tuesday!

I've decided to only pick up, Spider-Girl regularly now (I don't have a job anymore and get $10 dollars a week for allowance...:( ).

JEE I'm talking realy incoherantly today! Seems to be the norm for my posts!

Gettin Issue 53 soon!:D :D :D I'm actually REALLY looking forward to picking up the book each month now. I think it has something to do with them wrapping up the should I be Spider-Girl thing as fast as possible and not making it into a 7 issue deal. THANKYOU TOM DEFALCO!

I'm thinking of Getting a subscription to Spider-Girl, but I've heard that they usually deviler issue about 1 month behind it's release. DOes anyone have any experience with Marvel Subcriptions here? Think I should or just go down to the comic shop every so often? (my closest comic shop takes about 1h30m to get to so it's a ways to travel...)

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

The moment we all have waited for.....drum roll please......!!!!

I finally scored my issue of Spider-Girl !! And let me just say for the record, there WILL be SPOILERS!!! Ok, first off, let me just say that this issue was just a little something to prpeare us for the story arc that Tommy D and crew are preparing us for. Zen, you'll be happy to know that Felicity is in this issue with a bang. Again, this issue really didn't focus around May, or Felicity, but this girl named Megan. May is visting Courtney in the hospital, when some super-villian named Quickwire rips off the pharmacy, and of course May gets after him to no avail. He's a rip-off of SpeedBall, but lamer! This time, we're just dealing with May, Felicity, and this new girl, Megan. May and Felicity acutally work well together in this issue, again it really lacked action scenes, and the issue felt and read kinda rushed. But it was a good read regardless, makes you anticapate the next issue, which i hear is going to be a BIG turning point for May.

This issue was good, but as i said before, we're getting ready to get a good story arc. Overall, i give issue 53 a 3 1/2 out of 5. Lacked action, but the character interaction was great as always. Tell me what you think guys'!( And if you read this last night, you'll know i've edited my post. I kinda gave away too much of the story, sorry.......)


-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

Cool. But next time, don't tell us the entire story, ok?

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Originally posted by Travelling Wave

My apologizes T.W.! I'll keep that in mind next time. But i didn't really give up the WHOLE story, well....maybe i did. I'll edit the post then, how about that?

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

No need. I think everyone already read it.
;)

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Well, i've spent a little time over at Marvel.com, trying to get more info about that 3 issue story arc i've been telling you guys about, and i haven't come up with any interesteing developments. The covers' do tend to give way that SOMETHING is a brewing, and i hope that a lot of what we've been discussing will be answered in those three issues. I do know that the whole kipnapping-thing will be resolved, and the connection between Peter and Kaine/Ben Reilly. But that last cover, where May's mask is beaten to hell, and the eyepiece reveals her eye, that one kinda made me get a little giddy! So i'm looking forward to see what's in store for our Web-Stunner. Again, i apologize for giving up the story for #53, but there's nothing like reading it for yourself.....right???

Well, if anyone gathers any additonal info about the upcoming issues, please share with us! As always, its' appreciated guys'! What up Zen, T.W., my partners in crime!

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

Hmmm. Yeah, I saw that cover with the eye-piece in the latest Previews. It looked really cool. Unlike Peter's suit May's threads seem to be pretty robust and damage to the suit might be the result of a very bloody fight. Looks promising.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

I'm just gonna take a guess about this upcoming story arc, and let's just say that her battle might be with Raptor. And this assumption is steming from the proposal that the lawyer, who i think works either for the Kingpin, or is someone from her dads' past that want her to carry out his last wishes by taking out Spider-Girl or something. I don't know. Harry might reassume his identity as the Goblin, he does look as if he's due to "crack" at anytime. The Faces' should be behind bars, and all other Spider-Girl enemies are just too lame to be taken seriously, so it could be either Raptor or Harry as the Goblin. I pray that they'll resolve the issue with Alison Mongrain, please, please, PLEASE, let May in on the secert of her kidnapping, and with Kaine!! And lastly, could it be that Tommy D and crew are creating a new, deadlier villian, in which May has never seen before? Maybe you're right Zen, maybe someone in this cast will die. Reminiscent to Gwen Stacy, which changed Spider-Man forever, but we can only guess until we learn more. OOHH! And before i forget, speaking of Kaine, he and Darkdevil are suppose to be having it out, i think, but i know that they'll be included in the arc as well. That's all for know, i'll keep y'all posted on anymore details as they're availible.

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

I don't think it's Raptor. Nope... I'm hoping it's a new, deadlier, villian. I also hope the next story arc will be about six issues long and that it will affect Spider-Girl's future in a very direct way.

Then what do you think is going to happen to Raptor? I have a feeling that she'll HAVE to return to crime, for some reason or another. And what ever happens to her, Normie will not be happy, that's for sure! What do you think T.W. ?

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

I'm thinking she might end up as a special agent for the government or something. I'd like that a lot more. Actually I'm not so intrigued with Raptor at all. And I certainly don't think she'd survive long in a scrap with Spider-Girl.

I don't know about the government, she is in jail for killing a man, i don't think they'd let that one fly over. But a far as fighting May is concerned, if memory serves me correctly, she gave May some hell during their first encounter, but May was just starting out. She's more fine tuned now, remember the whooping she put on Kaine, and Funny Face? So you're right T.W., but if they enhance her weaponary, she could pose to be a challenge for Spider-Girl. I liked her as an ally myself, but i wouldn't be mad to see her go though..... You know what? Let's us create a new villian for Spider-Girl. It'll be easy, she, or he could be someone that always hated May because she/he was popular, and somehow gains some kind of super-power. She/He then decides to go to crime, and of course runs into Spider-Girl.
But instead of Spider-Girl thwarting this new criminal, they duke it out, during the fight, the villian knows that Spider-Girl won't allow harm to come to any innocent by-standers' , so the villian escapes
while May saves the innocents. That puts a sour taste in Spidey's mouth, not to mention that she barely held her own against this new villian. I'd like to see a villian as cunning as Doc Ock, and as deadly as the orignal Green Goblin. With the hate, like Eddie Brock/Venom, and with the credability of the Kingpin, (that might be a bit much!). Can anyone out there help me out? What type of new villian would you create for Spider-Girl?

Hmmm. Where is my comics? They should be here by now.
Going up to Stockholm tomorrow, I'll be gone for three days. They have this really neat place there called "Serieteket". It's like a library but they only have comics. There's also lots of good retailers up there but I don't know if I'll get the chance to check 'em out.

Annnnnnnnnnnddddddddd I'm Back!

Saw Bowling For Columbine yesterday, GREAT MOVIE by Micheal Moore(or however you spell his last name). So go see, ESPECIALLY if you're an American...

Anyway I was wondering if anyone on this board was down with sprite editing/making cus I'm trying to get a small Spider-Girl Fan Game off the ground! All in all I need Spider-Girl Sprite-set...

Anyway on to other stuff, I think I'd be great if Normie and May really did hook up but I've said that before eh? I STILL need to pick up Spider-Girl I'll probably go tommorow.

Thread dying out? FEH!

By the way issue 57 cover is finally here, take a look!

[Travelling Wave]

Wow. Looks like there's some major damage going on judging by that cover. Can't wait to read.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Yeah, judging by the way the city looks, oh something MAJOR is goin' on! And does that cover follow the one where her mask is all ripped up? HMMMMM?? I hope this story-arc is the BIG ONE we've all been waiting for, and the one that establishes Spider-Girl as one of the best comics on the shelves! Even still, her comic is top 7 in the Marvel universe, as far as consistency is concerned. But Zenien, you should know that our thread ain't never gonna die! We're gaining new posters', and soon our posts' will be in the thousands'!! And one more thing....why do i get the feeling that Felicity is going to die?? I don't know why, anyone feel me on that one?

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Well i'll have to say its' a tie between issue 19, "Once a Spider..", when Peter redons the tights once again to become Spider-Man. There was so much going on that issue, Kaines' attempt to assinate the Kingpin, the trail of the Kingpin, DarkDevil
trying to stop Kaine, and of course Spider-Girl earning her stripes from both DD, and her father, by beatin' the snot outta Kaine. Damn good read!
And also issue 12, the first appearence of Kaine, and the newly discovered powers' May has, during her tussle with DarkDevil. Then when Spider-Girl faces Kaine for the first time, he gives her a hella "shiner", and damn near kills her. Those were my two favorite issues, and i could've added issues 49, 50, and 51, as well! All great reads.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Originally posted by Scarlet-Spider1
Um...Who is "Darkdevil?" :confused:

Well to answer that question would be my pleasure SS! DarkDevil is the son of Ben Reilly, apparently Ben had a relationship with a woman named Elizabeth Tyne, but she died after DD,(whose real name is Reilly Tyne), was a little kid. He basicly bounced from an abusive foster home he was living in, and lived in the streets at 12 or 13 years of age. During this time, he started to develop his fathers powers, his spider-power, but also his degeneration diease too. Kaine had always knew of young Reilly, so when the diease started to kick-in big time, Kaine was there to assist him in his time of need, and told him the truth about himself. Kaine then put him in a ressuctation chamber to reverse the effects of the diease, where he stayed for months, and Kaine checked up on him from time to time. Now Kaine was hired by the Kingpin to "dust-off" his enemies, and those who betrayed him. During Kaine's vist to the Kingpin, DareDevil burst in on them informing the Kingpin that he had enough evidence to put him behind bars for life. Kingpin, being surrounded by all his hired muscle, tells Kaine to kill him, and they engage into battle. But Kaine was having difficulties with DD, so Kingpin orders his gunmen to kill them both. Kaine was pissed at hearing the orders given, and he and DD started fighting against the thugs. While Kaine was fighting, he had his back turned to the gunmen, and DD
saved Kaine from the gunshots, but was killed by doing so. Kaine took the dead DD back to where Reilly was, trying to revive DD to no avail. In a final attempt, Kaine the used the black arts, by summoning Zarathos, and asked him to reanimate DD back to life.
Zarathos rufused, and saw young Reilly in the chamber. He then went into his body to possess it, changing him from a boy to a man, with pastry skin, fangs, horns and markings on his forehead. That's when the spirit of DD came to fight Zarathos out of his body, which DD won, but Zarathos left his markings on Reilly, leaving looking like a devil. He went on to blame Kaine for what happen to him, and went on to find a way to regain his human appearance. After many months, he discovered that he could teleport anywhere, and return to the point of his first teleportation. He can also construt flame with the sai's that he uses in combat, and he morphs into his human appearance at will.
In honor of DareDevil, whose spirit lives within him, he wears a similiar costume like DareDevil's, but altered slighty. Reilly Tyne went on to law school, were he became an assistant, or public defender, at Foggy Nelson's law firm. He's now a lawyer at the firm. WHEW!!! I hope that narrows it down for you Scarlet-Spider!
DarkDevil had a limited 3 issue comic book out last year, you might still be able to pick it up, if you're interested!

As a matter of fact......I DO!!! Com'on, you think i'd just leave you guys in suspense forever?! All i have to say is, this issue is definitely the start of something BIG! Issue 54 starts off like there won't be much to look for, (by the way, this will be a 6 issue story arc!!), but then things turn to best! AAAARRRRGGGGH! Last issue,
i gave the whole book away, and i want so bad to share this one without giving too much info! All i can say is that this new villian is the one we've been waiting for, he's the likes that May has ever faced before, and Normie finally resurfaces again, after a 3 issue vacation. De Falco is back in control, he must've read our thread, because he controls the cast of characters to limited scenes, and he is giving us more SPIDER-GIRL! I'll await to see if anyone else grabs #54, and if i don't hear anything by tonight, i'll have to go ahead and post *SPOILERS*!!!! Anyway, get out there and get this issue, i'm already waiting for #55!!!!

i have to agree

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Well, it's been about two days since i've picked up Spider-Girl #54, and as promised........***SPOILERS***

Again, i repeat.....****SPOILERS!!!!!*****


Well, issue 54 starts with May saving a jewlery store, and its' employees from a group of Santa Clauses on a jackin' spree, after wrapping that up, she goes home to tell Pete, and MJ what happened while she was out Christmas shopping. Then Mary Jane topples over in pain, complications due to her pregnancy, but all is well. May is still deciding on which guy she should date, but is still uncertain, the list has become too crowded with Normie, JJ, Brad, and Franklin Richards. While out web-swinging looking for more Santa's, her Spider-Sense goes blaring, she scopes out the scene to find the Serpent King & gang, or whatever thier name is, and she kicks the snot outta of 'em. But she then has problems with the Serpent King, the cops cops come, and May looses round 1. Still shaken after the loss, she follows her instincts to a certain male-friends' window, (to his and our surpise) and goes with the "flow"! That's it, you'll have to find out the end on your own, but i'll say that its' worth not spoiling for everyone!!

Damn, sorry to hear that T.W., 56 viruses?!! Whoa. But glad to see you back in full effect! I'm sure you've seen my *SPOILERS* post on issue #54, and if you don't know about the surprise ending...OOOH BOYEEE!! You're gonna love it!

Actually there is, i saw one at a bookstore in the mall. It went from issue 0, up until issue 9 i believe, i remember because i read the story where the symbiote came back, and tried to bond with Peter. Phil Urich had to use his Goblin-Laugh to kill the symboite. But i don't know if there's anymore after that one though, i'll have to look around on the web.

I knew about that one but it came out in 2000 or something.

Oh, well there you have it then! But as far as any others since that one, i have no idea. What do you guys' think about the new story arc, "Season Of the Serpent"? I know that the first story was just a warm up, but i think this might actually be a really good arc. Anyway, what do you all think, i see a lot of surprises coming our way!

-:venom:BSM

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Whoa!! For the first time since this thread went up, which was now two months ago, it had finally fell off the first page of new threads, and landed on page two! I'm not upset at all, its' been a great ride with this thread, but i do realize that it takes hard work to keep one of these bad boys going! Its' been fun, but don't take this as giving up! NEVER! Spider-Girl has been recognized as one of the best, and for that, i'm happy!

[Moony_Girl13]

:thinks of a way to pick the thread up again:

Well, I just bought my copy of Spider-Girl #54 last week (the only or last copy they had too!) and..wow, the ending completely blew me away. The funny thing was that earlier on the same day, I was thinking about how cool it would be if that did end up happening the comics and, well...I literally jumped off the couch I was sitting on while I was reading it and ran around in circles (which I do when I'm excited...don't ask).

So, anyway, what do you guys think will happen in the next five issues of the arc?

[Travelling Wave]

I'll pass the question along since I haven't recieved my shipment yet, but please feel free to discuss and I'll just hang around and wait for my fix (and yes, we're still talking about comics).

First of all, allow me to welcome you to our, (and this definitely includes you too!), Spider-Girl thread, Moony_Girl 13! Feel free to post anytime you please, and as often as you please! Now to answer your question: my feelings in regards to this arc is this, i think someone is going to die. Why do i feel that way you ask? The mood in the book is definitely ripe for another death, and i think it would add a little more drama to the book as well, as May matures into a full-fledged super-hero, and how she's going to have to deal with the good and the bad that come along with this lifestyle. I was serious when i said that i think that Normie might snap again, and become the Goblin, because his sanity is just too good to be true! I do hope that she and Normie become a an item, but i know that when Raptor gets wind of it, she's gonna be pissed! Which might stage another battle between the two. But above all, i'm hoping that the next 5 issues bring a WHOLE lot more action to this comic, which i've been longing for. Oh yeah, will we be seeing moe of Kaine and DarkDevil? I hope so!!

As long as you don't eat mine I'm fine with that... Anyway, my comics arrived today and I'm now in on the action, so to speak. And.... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED THERE AT THE END!!!???? Sensational. Never saw that coming (but I was getting tired of all the dating-confusion anyways). Talk about long overdue. And here's to hoping that this new villian is like Spider-Girl's own Morlun or something. A guy who can really do some damage (as the forthcoming cover indicates). Spider-Girl is way too often faced with minor threats. It's time for something that will bring her to the edge and really make her shine.

Well i'm glad that you're up to speed now T.W.! And yeah, i'm glad that May has finally put an end to her dating woes, but what now? Remember, she kissed Brad too, and she was preplexed about any type of relationship with him. But amen to what you said about this new villian, i hope he is her "Morlun", as well! I'm damn near drooling over the anticapation for the next issue, to see this story further devolop, and the drama surrounding it!

Let me know, but until then, i'll holla!!

-BSM

[Travelling Wave]

Tell me about it. I had 56 viruses on my computer a couple of weeks ago and I had to hand it in to an expert who charged me real bad.

[Moony_Girl13]

Getting back on topic...I'm not sure who else here also reads stuff at comicboards.com (and I'm sorry if someone's already brought this up), but if you've been at the Spider-Girl board a few weeks ago, you've probably heard that apparently, Pat Olliffe will no no longer be penciling for S-G after #56 (original message is here (http://www.comicboards.com/spidergirl/view.php?trd=021209162341)) :(, and Ron Frenz will be taking over. Now, I'm going to assume this is true for now and that no one's impersonating anyone; personally, I know I'm really going to miss Olliffe's art. I mean, he's been penciling Spider-Girl for so long now, it's sort of the defining style for that comic now. And I'm also a little miffed that they're changing artists halfway through a story arc; the lack of uniformity could be a bit jarring, though I guess there's probably a reason for why they're not switching after the arc.

Now, I don't think I've personally seen any of Ron Frenz's art before, but I did hear that he drew a fairly odd May before (to quote someone else, it looked like she had "a potato for a nose" or something like that). Could anyone possibly post a link to some work he's done please?

Anyway, what's everyone else's opinon on this?

[Travelling Wave]

I think Frenz is equal in every way so it's not a problem for me, but it's sad that he has to leave the team.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Ron's art is good, very good at that, but i will mis Pat's pencils though. Damn, its' almost like we're losing our Steve Ditko of this Spider-generation, and of this comic book. Hey Moony Girl, Ron just did an issue of Spider-Girl not too long ago, issue 51 if i'm not mistaken, featuring the female version of Electro, and the kid that was in love with May. Ron in that issue, kinda made her suit a little like the Spider-Man movie costume with the weblines that is, but it clean none the less. I'll check-out comicboards.com, to check out that story, and see whats' up. Thanks Moony Girl, for that info!!

-:venom:BSM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh yeah, how did you get the comic character under your username, Moony? Please share if you would! Thanks again!
:venom:

[Zenien]

Right up from my heart man, I wanna thank all yo dawgs fr carrin bout me commin back!

Word...

I didn't even understand that and I wrote it!

Righto first things first! It's GOOD to be back.

I finished reading the latest issue of Spider-Girl and I loved it. Great to see the whole boyfriend thing finally getting resolved, there's only one thing that worries me. In comics the first couple always ends up broken up or not working out... Course hopefully good old Tom D. plans to make them "meant for eachother" like Pete and MJ. So that way, they can break up or whatnot but we'll all know that they will be together at the end. So yeah, REALLY looking forward to what Normie has to say on May kissin him like that! Gonna make for a great (long-term! Please!) story.

Hmmmm it's so good to see those serpent badies getting a fair shake. Making the villains seem like a real threat is what needs to happen now and again for May to get a decent rogues gallery.

Art wise the series is really kicking butt now, I think they're starting to draw may in motion a lot more which is a plus in my books. Course everyone knows that I had SOME grumblings about the series wayback when this thread was started... practically all of em (looking back) are unfounded when I compare them to the recent issues.

I'm really liking the SLIGHTLY more serious tone Tom is giving the books it gives it a dose of weight and keeps it in that silver age style that we all love. I love being able to read SG and get that whole escapest feel. To me the comic lets you forget about whatever stuff is going down and enjoy a good story. Most other comics today seem really too heavy(ultimate line has great stories yeah, but I find em hard to enjoy because they're trying so hard to pander to the mtv generation...)

Heh I'm happy that SG is on an upward trend, good thing she wasn't cancelled. Heck when Wizard hs it's end of the year awards they should have one for:

The most devoted comic book fan base:

Spider-Girl fans would HAVE to win hands down!:D

Hey after this whole mega cool serpent arch is done what would you like to see happen? Side story wise of story arch wise?

Pretty soon we're going to have to make a "Doesn't Anyone read Spider-Girl? Part 2" thread!:)

So in the mean time and in-between time, that's all from the Zen!:D

Ps: Pat O is hanging up SG after issue 56 so head on down to the Spider-Girl message board to wish him luck yo! and get ad-aware to stop spyware!

This fang message baord won't let me post half the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zenien]

Well I finally fixed the problem so now I can regularly participate again!

Anyway I've always like both artists, Frenze seems to really try and keep with Pats style on the book. Frenze seems to a bit more of a dynamic drawer as well but I like em both. My only concern is that Frenze might go wild with his super cartoony style but I get the feelling he'll stick to the books style. So yeah no worries on my part.

Heck we don't even really need a topic, we can bounce around and talk about meanningless stuff no problem and the thread stays strong! Good to see we're finally attracting more people to our zanny discussion.

Oh, Frenze is does art for Spider-Girl a lot more than some of our posters seem clued in on(:p jus playing ). Just take a look at your previous SG issues and you'll see that he's done a lot of SG issues. He usually keeps with Pats style which is why some people may not notice.

I'm looking forward to Frenze taking over the book but at the same time I with he and Pat could of stayed as the alternating artist team of the book... They both drew a similar style but added their own flare with each issue they did, it was nice to see that sort of thing.

Oh and the potato for a nose issue was the one involving the super Skrull and the F5. Frenze went really loose on that issue. I think he did it to get reader feedback and better gauge what us readers like to see. I really enjoyed that issue even if it was unrealistic because it had May look small and FAST. I wouldn't like that style long term, but is was a nice bump in the road from the usual. Pat has really improved from his older stiff as nails style on SG, I feel like he was hitting his groove and it's a shame to see him go.

EVERYONE MAKE SURE TO VOTE FOR SPIDER-GIRL FOR "THE BEST SPINN OFF SERIES OF SPIDER-MAN THREAD" VOTE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[Travelling Wave]

If I remember correctly (too lazy to go and check) Frenz didn't pencil issue 51. That was someone totally new (they guy who pencilled "Spider-Man Unlimited", the spin-off from the FOX animated show). But Frenzie has been doing a lot of the art work, almost from the beginning, and so I consider him almost a regular.

[Zenien]

While we're on the topic of artists that have done SG here and there what did everyone think of Batista? Issue 39 if I'm not mistaken...

T.W., good-lookin' out! You're right, that wasn't Ron's work. I was too lazy, and too scared that i'd pull the issue out of my comic box the wrong way! I'm very protective of my comics, ya know! And yes- i keep 'em in a protective comic-shield!! (lol !!) In regards to upcoming issues of this story arc, i know one things for sure, May will be needing some help from the other heroes if she's gonna defeat this Serpent Clan. Will we see Kaine and DarkDevil step up to the challege? And also, what's the agenda of the Serpent King? Other than destruction, what else could he be aspiring to accomplish? Good questions, that i'm hoping wil relate into a great answer!

I hope not, i've never really been fond of A2, so i hope NOT to see them in this arc! But we'll have to wait and see.

-:venom:BSM

[Zenien]

I didn't like the actual A2 comic but I did like them in the issue were SG gets reserve status.

Tom D. himself says that the Avengers will be involved.

I actualy liked the team and thought (when they were launched) that if they had been given a bit more time in the creative realm that they could have been a lot better. The problem with our beloved MC2 line is that a lot of the characters were done on the fly of the moment by Tom D.

He said so himself that If he knew they were seriously going to print he would have put much more thought into them. Ah how I wish Wildthing had been closer to her dads style. Not saying she should have gone 90's on people but she should have dealt with more "person with healing factor and pointy claws" issues.

So no one have any comments about the art in issue 39?

I'm working towards getting every single issue of SG and having them all put into plastic bags with backings! Heh someday they might be worth something. Of course me doing this has little to do with money and a lot more to do with my love for the series...:)

Right now I'm missing about 10 issues here and there because the backbins have been picked over by SG fans who found out about it around issues 18-20. If anyone has any duplicates that they could part with (for money...?) I'd be overjoyed.

If anyone is interrested tell me yo and I'll post the issues that I am missing.

All for now True Believers!

[Travelling Wave]

I actually own every single issue of Spider-Girl, except for the "What if" (But that was later re-printed). But sorry, I'm not really ready to part with "my little children" just yet (and we think it's strange that they call us geeks).

By the way, guess what Santa brought me? A special 3-disc (yep, you heard right) limited edition of Spider-man. Didn't even know it existed (okay, the third disc is really weird and only contains music, but still!!!). It also featured exact copies of the artwork (in a neat little envelope) and one small piece of film, from the movie (copy no doubt)!! Don't know if this makes any sense to you but I was thrilled. Maybe you guys already knew about this product. The third disc read "for promo use only - not for sale". Damn cool (too bad I still don't like the movie very much - doesn't quite measure up to the comics if you ask me). Now that's what I call a good Christmas gift!!!

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! I hope that you all have a very blessed Christmas, and from the sounds of things, T.W. got a very sweet gift! And in regards to your question about back issues Zen, i'll check out my comic shop, and get the word back to you. She has some back issues of Spider-Girl that even i was interested in, because my series of this book isn't complete either,
i started at issue 12, and i want all of 'em!!! Also, i'll check out issue 39 again, and get the word out for you! Thanks guys', take care, and enjoy your Christmas!

-:venom:BSM

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Oh yeah, don't feel bad for me Zen! I don't hate A2, it's just that i think they're corny sometimes, that's all, but i like American Dream
and the Wasp. But other than that, they're aiiight!! (LOL!) But if they're written the right way, i'm sure i'll think differently.

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

I also find A2 a bit hard to swallow, as well as F5. A bit corny if you ask me.

[Travelling Wave]

But don't go running away just 'cause I said so!!!

[Zenien]

LOL

Merry Christmas everyone.

Santa was very good to me this year. Althought I think Satan had a hand in it to because I somehow recieved a copy of Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance...Oh Well!

I got 2 disc Spider-Man DVD!

Hey William Deffoe's bloopers were hilarious!

Dangit I got to go! (wow this is a quick post, hi/bye sorta thing)

Yeah, I saw that. Haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet, but it's been a good read so far :) And onto other things...Spider-Girl #55 is coming out in just a few days! We're finally going to get some closure (or is it?) for some of the cliffhangers in #54, as well as an explanation for why May's mask is so trashed on the cover :D How it can't be amazing is beyond me.

And on a different note, I have a small New Year's present: I noticed that the old Spider-Girl Fanlisting (http://www.geocities.com/spidergirlfans/) seems to be no longer accepting new members, so I, uh, made a new one (click here (http://www.geocities.com/extra_fruitcake/spidergirl.html)). I apologize for my baby HTML skills and lack of Photoshop skills, so I hope no one minds too much :(

Anyway, [B]HAPPY NEW YEAR'S/B], everyone!

[Zenien]

Dang Moony_girl I like it!

I never even knew about the Spider-Girl Fanlistings. In fact I never even knew about any Spider-Girl pages beyond the comicboards.com and that Spider-Girl page you mention on the site.

I just filled out a member application, let's get everyone to join this thing.

Really cool.

Ah yes the newest issue is upon us, I personally can't wait to see what happens. The fallout from Normie and May itself is enough for this next issue to be a "must buy".

The plot turns they can make with the situation are endless. Personally I don't think everything is going to turn out happy go lucky, that works because to me the May/Normie relationship is better with a struggle because all us fans pretty much feel that they are going to "meant" for eachother anyway (like Peter/MJ).

We have SO many posts!:hyper:

I'm really looking forward to Spider-Girl cutting loose in the next while, I feel that her "coming of age" comic wise is upon us as she is cementing herself as a comic figure that's here to stay. I'm glad to be a part of the ride...

As for the Serpents I can't wait to see what there plan is! I'm not sure what's going to happen myself, but I agree 100% that's it's going to be epic...

Cheer, Happy New Years Spider-Girl Fans and that's one great new years present :spidey:

[Zenien]

:gg:HA HA HA HA HA!:gg:

It would appear :bomb:BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN!:bomb:, that I've beatten you to the "that's great news random person" post that you're so famous for! VICTORY IS MINE!

:p

[Zenien]

Hey this is a first...

Blaque SpiderMan where are you...?:(

Everyone remember to pick up issue 55 this weekend!

[Moony_Girl13]

:hops back into the discussion:

First off, thanks for the compliments, Zen ^_^ I'm glad you liked it, and I already added you to the listing a few days ago (thanks for joining!). Now I just have to hope that when thefanlistings.net opens up new applications again, no one else will reserve Spider-Girl as their theme.

Secondly, I actually managed to get a copy of #55 on Thursday (sadly, there was no USM, but that's a different story). I won't post any spoilers yet since it doesn't seem like anyone else has it yet, but I'll say that it's a brilliant issue, perhaps even better than #54! And, I'm not sure if this is a spoiler or not (though it might be better to be safe and not read on), but the story's definitely taking a MUCH darker turn. Personally, I like that though, the plot's starting to have more weight and all that sort of stuff.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to having a discussion about it once everyone else has read it ^_^ And you're right, Zen, it doesn't seem like Blaque-Spiderman's been around lately :( Wonder where he is...?

[Zenien]

Well I'VE read the newest issue!

BLACK-SPIDERMAN.... WHERE ARE YOU? My pumpkin bombs around your name didn't knock you out or anything did they?

Without typing any spoilers I just wanna say that I really liked the issue. Basicly what you said Moony.

Now I will TYPE SPOILERS!

SPOILERS
SPOILERS























Ok I loved this issue. I guess I was right about everything note being wonderland between May and Normie. I get the feelling that Normie does like her in "that way", but he's too concious of all the backstory and issues between a potential relationship. May must have really caught him off guard because he freaked out.

Still he could of at least not shot her down so brutally like that...

I loved the art after where it showed her running away in tears. Call me crazy butt I think the 2 panels (the first showing her in tears and the second showing her downing the Spider-Girl mask), I'm pretty sure is was showing how she is starting to use the mask to push her problems away. A lot like Peter used to do. Maybe I've been starring at the sun too long?

It was way more serious this issue, maybe a little too dark. But hey, maybe I'm just worried about it becomming too Main Stream Marvel style. I don't even know what I mean by that so don't ask!

Amazing stuff happened, the rift between May and Davida is growing. Speaking of May, I loved how the mere fact of being a person with powers started to really infring on her. It was beautifully done in my opinion.

PHIL CAN'T BE DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They still have so much more they can do with the character. The scene where he tells Spider-Girl that most of the Warriors don't take his calls sums up the underlying storyline right there. Phil isn't been taken seriously as a person or super-hero in his circle of friends. And it's hurting him, potential for a great plot here and it would be a shame to ruin it.

Personally I don't think he's dead! We didn't get much May monlogue this issue. I liked how a lot of scene were givien the silent treatment. But I sorta missed it in an odd way. Too much of it leaves me feelling babied and too little makes me feel left in the cold. Feh I MUST be hard to please!

END SPOILERS














Actually If I could say something here to Tom D. I really like the book and please don't take my opening points against the series (at the beginning of the thread) to heart. It would be a shame to see it get turned into just another Marvel title. So yeah if I complain take it as constructive and not that I don't like the book because I LOVE Spider-Girl. Remember when I rant against something it doesn't mean the thing I'm ranting against has no redeeming values!

WHY I TYPED THAT I HAVE NO IDEA. Just thinking that if Tom visited this thread (he might have in all honesty), I don't want him to get down because of one fan who was overly negative at the start of the thread. Then again maybe I'm taking my posts too seriously:D

Even Travelling Wave hasn't posted in awhile. Where is everyone?:(

Oh well Moony, you and me will have to hold down the fort for awhile I guess. Hey Black-SpiderMan and Travelling Wave did it, how hard can it be:)

Oh Moony_girl13, sory to bother you but I was wondering if I could get my name on the fanlistings changed to Zenien seeing as most people will know me by that name anyway.

Cheers!

[Moony_Girl13]

Yup, no problem. I already changed it yesterday ^_^ And, continuing the discussion...

Normie and May: I'm with you on this one, Zen. I think he does like her in "that way", but as you said, he's too self-conscious about it; the reasons he singles out make sense too though...I mean, there is a bit of an age difference, four years to be exact. Actually, that's not too big of a difference, though I guess it is for Normie ^_^ As for having a girlfriend already...do you think Normie's feelings for Blackie might be waning somewhat? If I'm not mistaken (and if I didn't interpret or remember this incorrectly), there was that kiss he had with her in #49, but apparently, instead of being "in the moment", his mind was wandering off thinking about May. Okay, I didn't word that very well, actually, but you got the gist of it, right? And lastly, the whole background of their families' relationship. If I'm not mistaken again, wasn't one of the reasons that May stopped herself from kissing him in an earlier issue was because she thought her dad would freak out? Anyway, I'm interested in seeing how May and Normie's relationship works out; I mean, the latter is obviously regretting his freaking out in front of her, and with May in danger, who knows what it'll bring out of him? :)

Secondly, I also really liked how May's superheroing and superpowers are causing more consequences on her everyday life. Like the blood drive thing (though I'm sure she has a lot more to worry about right now ;)) and, like you said, her relationship with Davida. Really well-done, that part was. Not only was it subtle, but the characters acted pretty much as real teenagers would, I think. And I liked how the whole thing of Davida finding out she had a cell phone ended up having a bit of a "domino effect" later on. I mean, it's such a small thing, and it ends up having this huge impact on everything.

As for Phil...not going to write too much about this one, since I think you covered it pretty well. As a character, he DOES have a lot of potential, like you said. But then again, if he really is dead, it'd be interesting to see how it impacts May (in terms of motivation and the like).

As for the lack of interior monologue...I wouldn't be too surprised if there was a lot of it in the beginning of the next issue. Can't explain why, it just feels appropriate to see what and how she's thinking in a near-death (she isn't going to die, obviously :)) situation.

Btw, did you hear about the price hike Spider-Girl's going to get come issue #59? $0.74 US raise, apparently. I guess that's a lot. I'm still going to continue buying it, of course, but from what I've been seeing and hearing, a lot of other readers are going to be dropping it. Really hope this doesn't end up with a third (and possibly final) cancellation.

Here's the the discussion thread from ComicBoards about it:

http://www.comicboards.com/spidergirl/view.php?trd=030101141847

[Zenien]

Hey I'm back yo!

Spider-Girl price hike...:(

Don't get me wrong, I understand that you have to make money but it seems like a really large price hike to me. 74 cents for United States equals like over a dollar Canadian. This is SORT OF what I mean't by worrying in reguards to Spider-Girl turning into Mainstream Marvel. It's going to start getting all the flashy covers and bizarre panels and references to pop culture. I know that USM tells great stories, but it got so hyped (and the basis behind is so pandering) that I still have a hard time finding the "soul" of the book. When I pick up Spider-Girl I feel a sort of old school style brought into the current decade. I like that style and I find it nice variaty. I'm one of those weird people that have a tough time swallowing hype. I want to judge a book on how I like it and not all the flashy ads surrounding it.

On the flip side I bet the production vales going into the book will be raised a lot along with the price hike.

I just hope that Spider-Girl will remain true to her roots and not vere off trying to imitate the ultimate universe. I have no problem with increased coverage as long as people view it as a story with characters and not a brand.

Well we could look at it like this: IF Marvel is making this large a price hike then the book has probably been showing a rapidly increasing readership. I notice a lot more people are posting Spider-Girl as a title they pick up whenever the "Comics Comming this week" posts are on.

I seriously hope people don't drop this comic. 75 cents isn't really that much...It's over here in Canada that we're gonna have to pay big. Even then an extra dollar isn't a big diff.

:spidey: :hyper: :bomb: 200th POST :bomb: :hyper: :spidey:

[Doggett]

The reason behind the price hike is simple, Marvel doesn't think ever giving Spider-Girl or any of their other lowselling books a promotional push will help boost sales, but raising the price tag to $2.99 will magically attract new readers to these books(Makes sense, dont it?). :rolleyes:


For more info, click here (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33243)(if you haven't already seen this thread) and hope that this price hike won't rush Spider-Girl to the chopping block.

[Zenien]

Well all we can do is hope people will support those titles. I guess it is a sound buisiness decision financially. A few of those titles are probably losing money so by upping the price only the strong ones survive out of those. THey make some more money off of the ones that do survive and cut there loses with the ones that go under.

Still...!
Oh well...

Dogett Welcome to the board! Hope you'll stick around!

Im sure it will. I heard from Peter David (i forgoti where, I think it was something Last Angry Man posted) that Marvel thinks a good book shoudl seel more than 2500, when originally it was 4500 (or something like that). But I dont see how raising the price will help at all.

[Moony_Girl13]

Well, hopefully, the raised price will make up for the lost readers. Anyway, I was over at the Spider-Girl MB (http://www.comicboards.com/spidergirl) again today, and found some interesting links you might want to check out (be warned though, they're filled with lots of big SPOILERS):

First off, www.comicscontinuum.com has the cover and first four pages of Spider-Girl #56 up. Like I said though, big spoilers, so don't look if you can help it:

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0301/09/marvelfirsts.htm

Secondly, there's a great interview with Ron Frenz at the next link below. Again, lots of big spoilers, especially about the rest of the arc's plot (the characters in particular, I think) as well as some of the uncoloured pages of Spider-Girl #57 (looking good!) and some character/costume designs. Many many spoilers though:

http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=36&t=000602

[Zenien]

Hey everyone! See keeping aboard upo isn't TOO hard. Does anyone have Black-Spiderman's e-mail or anything? Hope he didn't get a virus...!:(

Wow you've been surfing around Moony...:eek:

Unfortunately I'm not going to be looking at those links until I've at least read issue 56. Ya know not wanting to spoil the suprise and all that. it IS tempting though...maybe just one little look...

NO I WON'T ruin it!

OK crisis averted!

In reguard to the price hike making up for the loss of readers I sugest everyone checks out this link!


http://www.ninthart.com/display.php?article=468

make sure to reply back on your thoughts while we all brace for SG #56 to bring in new topics of discussion. In fact if anyone has any topics about SG they'd like to discuss just post em!

[Zenien]

Hey Moony I cracked! I couldn't help it! I looked at the non comic pictures and all the text that didn't have any spoiler questions as the heading! Special props go to you for finding all this stuff moony! Fantastic!

That Being said what do you think about Frenz's artwork now that you've looked at it some more?

Also what do you think of the concept designs for Spider-Girl that were on the site?

http://www.comicon.com/pulse/images/spidergirl_fel_design.jpg

I'm going to comment on the various designs later. Notice each variation has at least 2 different characters listed as the designers. Obviously these are different characters envisionment of the Spider-Girl Costume. So yeah feedback on them would be GREATLY appreciated. Everyone say what you think, which one is the sleekest, best, worst and why. Don't be shy!

Also remember, if the pictures don't load, write click on the boxes and go to properties and it will have the address presented so you can still look at them!

Note: all of these pictures were drawn by Ron Frenz's...

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

First off, Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you all had a great New Years', and i wish you all prosperity in this new 2003! And secondly, i apologize for my long absence from our thread, unfortunately i had a death in the family which had me out of town, and away from a computer. But i thank you Zen for your concern in light of my absence, and you too Moony Girl, for holdin' it down until i returned! And now i'm back!!! And wasn't that just an awesome issue of Spider-Girl?!! Zen, i hate that you don't get your comics like we do, so we'll have to devise a way for you to get up to speed. Anyway, mad love to Zenien for blessing us with the Spider-Girl pix's! Ron will fill the bill lovely i think, but i will miss Pat's contribution to Spider-Girl. He'll always be the "John Romita", if you would, to this comic. So now that i'm back in the house, i'm gonna have to read all of your posts, and then respond accordingly. It's good to be back, and i'll holla at y'all later!

[Travelling Wave]

Here I am at last!!!

Computer problems. Had to format the whole thing again. Ugh...
I've also been busy in the studio, working 7 days a week with the new album (been at it since august) so I hope you can excuse me for not getting back quicker.

That being said it's still about two weeks 'til my comics ship so you guys are one issue ahead of me. Can't wait to catch up!

/TW

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

It always seems that when i post, Travelling Wave pops up too! Well its good to have the gang back in full effect! I took time to read everyones' posts' since my absence, and i enjoyed them all! You know, we all write very well, and with all this talent, we could write our own Spider-Girl tales! Also- i read the Ron Frenze story over at Comics Continuim, thanks Moony Girl, and the previews of the art were AWESOME! Just looking at that made me miss Pat Oliffe just a little less! His Spider-Girl is tight, and he does some great action scenes too! Moony Girl, thanks for all the Spider-Girl info you've been providing us with, not to mention with the link hook-ups! Very well detailed, i like that! Much love MG, (now your name has been intialized Moony Girl!). Issue 56 on Wedensday, people!! This arc is getting better, and more thrilling! Don't be mad at me guys', but i was hoping that Phil was a goner! How he survived that blast is beyond me! He doesn't have super-strength, right? Hmmm, we'll see in a few days. 5000.....

-:venom:BSM

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

One more thing, i vow from this day forward, that this thread WILL NOT fall on page two again!! Nevermore!

-:venom:BSM

[Moony_Girl13]

:waves: Glad to see everyone's back, doing relatively fine and enjoying the links ^_^ And of course, issue #56 (the last one with Pat Olliffe penciling too!) is coming out in just two days now, and even though I've personally peeked at the spoilers and first look, I'm still hyped up about the plot! As for Ron Frenz's art, I'm thoroughly enjoying it right now. 'Love how he gives May (or at least Spider-Girl) this great "spidery" sort of look, really appropriate and stylish.

Oh, and on another note, the Spider-Girl Fanlisting (http://www.geocities.com/extra_fruitcake/spidergirl.html) I started awhile back has been officially approved by the Fanlistings Network (http://thefanlistings.org)! Woohoo! Now I just have to figure out a way for it to gain more exposure...any ideas, anyone?

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Hey Moony, could ya be so kind to sign a brotha up with the Spider-Girl Fanlistings please? If so, my Hype! username here will be suffice, that's Blaque-SpiderMan! Thanks! And like you, i can't wait until issue 56!!

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

I'd like to be listed as well. "Travelling Wave" would be a good name, I believe. If you could make that happen that would be great.

[Zenien]

And The Band Is Back Together!

Sorry to hear about a death in your family BSM good luck with whatever went down.

To clear things up I do get all my comics the same time as you BSM. Maybe a phrased my earlier post poorly.

I personally think it isn't TOO off base to think that Phil Survived that blast from the Serpent guy. I think he's going to be really hurt but he should be able to pull through. If you guys n' gals ever read his short lived series you'll remember that he actually used a different version of the goblin formula on himself before becoming the Green Goblin. From what I remember the goblin mask activated most of his powers including his strength, but his goblin metablolism was a constant. He probably has some minor healling factor and resistance to injury but nothing goblin level because he hasn't used the formula in decades. Just a thought...

I was thinking that Spider-Girl may actually end up becomming a better combatant than Spider-Man further down the line. Her Spider-Sense is more developed and doesn't seem as prone to getting overloaded or confused. She's smaller making her harder to hit, she is just as fast and flexible. But what really gives her an edge is her ability to repel objects and expand her sticking power to the objects she's in contact with. That being said she only has the potential to be a better fighter, so far her fighting style doesn't seem as agressive as Peters. Just another tought...

So what's everyones opinions on the costumes?

That being said, I have to get back to work before my tech teacher notices me doing this!:p

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Thanks for your condolensences Zen, it is appreciated. I'm also glad to know that you get your comics on time like all of us, well with exception to T.W., who's in Sweeden. In regards to your point about May being a better combatant than her dad, she has a lotta pluses on her side that dear ol' dad didn't, but he does have 40 years of butt-kickin' expierence! Her Spider-Sense is waaaay more sensitive than Pete's, but as far as her ability to repel objects goes, until she uses it with more regularity, it's really not a factor yet in her combat arsenal. She maybe faster, and a tad more agile, but our Web-Stunner juuuust lacks that expierence which is vital to survival in the superhero biz. She's learning, though, and i'd like to see her use all her Spider-abilities on a regular basis. Smoke if you got 'em, right? And by the way, i really love the Spider-Man 2099 design that Ron designed for May,
which was the Felicity design. LOVELY, MAN!! JUST LOVELY!!!!

-:venom:BSM

[Travelling Wave]

As far as designs go, nothing beats the original.

Concerning the "death-in-family-situation" that Blaque-Spiderman is going through; I've been there a couple of times myself and I know how much it can hurt, so, even if it sounds cheesy, I extend my virtual support and condolensences. We're all in this together and wherever we may be on this earth, we play by the same rules. It's in times like these you understand that no matter who we are, what our background is or what part we play in society we're all human beings, we all have the same basic needs, share the same fears and worries. When death comes close it opens a door into parts of your mind that you otherwise won't visit so frequently. Questions... Why are we here? What does it all mean? Where do we all go in the end?

In a strange way comics are part of the solution. Here we are, from different parts of the world, sharing a common universe, The Marvel one. I know it's a bit of a stretch but doesn't that make you fell kinda warm and fuzzy inside? The feeling that we can share something on a level that has nothing to do with who or what we are in everyday life? It kinda gives me hope. The notion that everyone and everything belongs. It's all connected. That it will all work out beautifully in the end.

Just a couple of words on the way...

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Travelling Wave, thank you for those kind words, and condolensences. It is very appericated, and my family thanks you all for your love and thoughts. You brought up a very good point in how comics have brought us together, TW, and how we may have never got the opprotunity to unite, and share with one another our interests, or ideas that we have in common. This makes me more proud to be a member of the Hype! community, which has given me the pleasure to meet all of your aquaintences, via the internet, and establish new relationships as well. Comicbooks' are more than just a way to get away from the real world, it also has the power to bridge gaps, and unite different cultures in our society. I've been a Marvel fan since i was a 4 year-old, and i'll continue to be a comic fan until i take my last breath! By the way, best wishes to you on your albulm TW! I'm an aspiring musician myself, so i'm glad to see you fufilling your musical ambitions! Well i'm out to the comic store, Spider-Girl 56 is in stores today!! I'll holla!!

-:venom:BSM

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

I'm sure be now everyone has seen the three page preview over at Mile High, if not, the issue starts with May as we saw her last, bound to an anchor, and tossed in the Hudson. We can definitely see the maturity May displays in the face of adversity while in a life and death situation. I really like how Tom DeFalco has her deal with this, and what she uses as motivation to escape the clutches of death. May's will to never give up is why i like her character so much, like her dad, and that makes you want to root for her to succeed. Anyway, we finally learn the true idenity of the Serpent King, but when he does, May cracked me the hell up when she told him she didn't know who he was! That he's not even in the Super-Menace top 100, and that he needed a new publicist!! It was a classic Spider-quip moment indeed! Again, without giving away too much until i hear from the rest of you guys', i'll leave it at that. Not too much action, just more suspense, and definitely more Spider-Girl! Oh yeah, i wonder why May can't make the connection that Davida is one half of LadyHawks? Plus, wouldn't she have recognized the cell phone May has, being that they all had the same phones? Well anyway, she makes a guest appearence along with DarkDevil, and the Buzz. Alright kiddies, i'm waiting to hear from you guys'! I'll holla!

Haven't read comics in a while, tho' when I picked up Spider-girl again, I was glad it hadn't lost its magic. Very interesting indeed regarding Normie Jr.
One thing though, I'm getting tired of all the lame villians. This book still lacks an arch enemy.

[Zenien]

Hey, I'm Probably picking up issue 56 this weekend or the next...

next post or so I'm going to give my thoughts on each costume so stay tuned!

In reguards to an arch villain...hmmm maybe we should start brainstorming?

Throw out your ideas! As I recall we covered this once before, but hey instead of speculation, let's start actually thinking up villain or storylines that would make pre-existing villains a major threat.

Welcome Hex, glad to see you still enjoy Spider-Girl, and you're right, she has not battled that destined arch-villain like her father. But the Season of Serpents is a good start though, May shows she has the will to win against all odds, so i have an idea that we'll be seeing that arch enemy soon. Plus, the relationship between May and Normie will be interesting to see down the line, once this arc is done. We'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, that's a good thought Zen, but where should one start when trying to create a villian worthy to be an opponent
for a lifetime?? Also, WITHOUT revamping old past Spider-Man villians, and just making them female-counterparts. Well, let the brain-stroming commence! I wouldn't mind if this new villian was either sex, but i'd like to see a female vicious enough to fill the role. Let me do some real thinking on this, and i'll get back. As a matter of fact, why don't we do this, someone start with something, and we all build it up with our own ideas! I'll post back
later, and get it goin', unless someone beats me to the punch! 5000!!

Ok. #55 was a blast but the end was a bit corny. The coolest thing would have been if Phil went to search for the bomb on his own and that Serpent-guy just killed him with a single stroke or something. That would really build up tension for issues to come.

Good to see you finally recieved issue 55 T.W., and i feel you on Phil dying. It would have added a tad more suspense if May would've just went ahead to the F5 HQ, THEN get the call from Phil, after he gun-ho's his way to the Serpent's boat, and she gets there right before he's blasted by the Serpent King. But i don't think that end was corny, just a tad rushed. Wait'll see what's to come T.W.!

What up y'all, i've been doing a little brain-stroming in regards to a new arch-villian for Spider-Girl, and i was reading an old issue of the Incredible Hulk, when he first went by the "Mr. Fix-It" persona of the gray Hulk, and his battle with Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man. And then an idea struck me! And i thought of how it would be cool if Spider-Girl's all-time foe could somehow mimic the powers of the original Sinister Six. Flying abilty from the Vulture, the strength and viciousness of the Scorpion, the ability to change the body density like the Sandman, the scientific genius, not the arms, of Doc Ock, a thrid of the electrical power of Electro, and the hunting prowess of Kraven. Plus she, or he can have malleable skin which would enable the shifting of abilities. I don't know, i'll read this over, check it out, and make some editing changes if it sounds too wack! But if anyone wants to add something, or even change anything, feel free! I'm very open to new ideas!

Not Gone, just REALLY BUSY!:D

[Travelling Wave]

Same here... No time to brainstorm at the moment, but wouldn't you think a brand new character would be better than yet another "new" version of an old one (or several old ones, as is the case this time). I'm gettin pretty tired of all these "grandchildren" and "relatives" running around. But credit to you Blaquie, at least you're doing something (and your villian still sounds good, it's just that I want someone totally fresh).

[Zenien]

Good point about rehashed villains TW. If anyone is in the need for some inspiration make sure to take a look over at Spiderfan.org.

I've been brainstorming possible new villains on a text document for a few days now... Man this character creation is hard when your working in an established universe!

Issue 56 STILL hasn't arrived at my local comic shop!:mad:

Heh for all my talk, props go out to Blaque-SpiderMan for been the only one (thus far) to actually present an idea!:o

BSM, did you get your inspiration for the villain from Mimic of the Exiles? Any ideas about a costume and such?

[The_Symbiote]

I have like, the first 6 issues of Spider-Girl, in pretty good condition too. Cept I can't find issue five with the return of Venom ( at least, I think that's the one ).

Actually, i didn't Zen. As a matter of fact, i never heard of that character until you just mentioned it! Well that kinda sucks! I was hopin' my idea was original! Oh well, but you know what i got to thinkin' about guys'? A villian like Fusion. Fusion was so tight! But when they revealed his powers were through hypnotic sugestions, i was pissed! Because that made him a lame-o in a sense, but still a formidable foe none the less. I believe we can create a new villian that would be worthy to be put in the Spider-Girl comic book. Remember, it was the fans that created the Scarlet-Spider costume, well A fan to be precise, but the bottom line is, our voices can be heard! I hope that motivated you guys', i kinda got pumped up from that, too!

:looks at how much she's missed since she was away: Woah, lots of stuff to catch up on...I had seven exams this week, so I couldn't really come and post anything here ^_^ But the discussion on brainstorming a new supervillain looks great so far, everyone's pitched in some amazing ideas!

Anyway, there's a Spider-Girl #57 First Look at the following link, if anyone's interested:

In terms of Ron Frenz's artwork (from what's shown on those four pages), I'm still mixed about it. On the one hand, he draws an amazing Spider-Girl, but on the other, May sometimes looks a little odd (too cartoony?) out of costume. But overall, 'tis good :)

And on another note, I added all the regular posters to this thread onto the fanlisting (http://www.geocities.com/extra_fruitcake/spidergirl.html) several weeks ago ^_^ Now to get people to know about it outside of the board...
